The Boleyn Inheritance (Boleyn #2)by Philippa Gregory
THREE WOMEN WHO SHARE ONE FATE: THE BOLEYN INHERITANCE ANNE OF CLEVES She runs from her tiny country, her hateful mother, and her abusive brother to a throne whose last three occupants are dead. King Henry VIII, her new husband, instantly dislikes her. Without friends, family, or even an understanding of the language being spoken around her, she must literally save her neck in a court ruled by a deadly game of politics and the terror of an unpredictable and vengeful king. Her Boleyn Inheritance: accusations and false witnesses. KATHERINE HOWARD She catches the king's eye within moments of arriving at court, setting in motion the dreadful machine of politics, intrigue, and treason that she does not understand. She only knows that she is beautiful, that men desire her, that she is young and in love -- but not with the diseased old man who made her queen, beds her night after night, and killed her cousin Anne. Her Boleyn Inheritance: the threat of the axe. JANE ROCHFORD She is the Boleyn girl whose testimony sent her husband and sister-in-law to their deaths. She is the trusted friend of two threatened queens, the perfectly loyal spy for her uncle, the Duke of Norfolk, and a canny survivor in the murderous court of a most dangerous king. Throughout Europe, her name is a byword for malice, jealousy, and twisted lust. Her Boleyn Inheritance: a fortune and a title, in exchange for her soul. The Boleyn Inheritance is a novel drawn tight as a lute string about a court ruled by the gallows and three women whose positions brought them wealth, admiration, and power as well as deceit, betrayal, and terror. Once again, Philippa Gregory has brought a vanished world to life -- the whisper of a silk skirt on a stone stair, the yellow glow of candlelight illuminating a hastily written note, the murmurs of the crowd gathering on Tower Green below the newly built scaffold. In The Boleyn Inheritance Gregory is at her intelligent and page-turning best.
Changeling (Order of Darkness #1)by Philippa Gregory
Dark myths, medieval secrets, intrigue, and romance populate the pages of the first-ever teen series from #1 bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl.Italy, 1453. Seventeen-year-old Luca Vero is brilliant, gorgeous--and accused of heresy. Cast out of his religious order for using the new science to question old superstitious beliefs, Luca is recruited into a secret sect: The Order of the Dragon, commissioned by Pope Nicholas V to investigate evil and danger in its many forms, and strange occurrences across Europe, in this year--the end of days. Isolde is a seventeen-year-old girl shut up in a nunnery so she can't inherit any of her father's estate. As the nuns walk in their sleep and see strange visions, Isolde is accused of witchcraft--and Luca is sent to investigate her, but finds himself plotting her escape. Despite their vows, despite themselves, love grows between Luca and Isolde as they travel across Europe with their faithful companions, Freize and Ishraq. The four young people encounter werewolves, alchemists, witches, and death-dancers as they head toward a real-life historical figure who holds the boundaries of Christendom and the secrets of the Order of the Dragon. The first in a series, this epic and richly detailed drama is grounded in historical communities and their mythic beliefs.
The Constant Princessby Philippa Gregory
"I am Catalina, Princess of Spain, daughter of the two greatest monarchs the world has ever known...and I will be Queen of England." Thus, bestselling author Philippa Gregory introduces one of her most unforgettable heroines: Katherine of Aragon. Daughter of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, Katherine has been fated her whole life to marry Prince Arthur of England. When they meet and are married, the match becomes as passionate as it is politically expedient. The young lovers revel in each other's company and plan the England they will make together. But tragically, aged only fifteen, Arthur falls ill and extracts from his sixteen-year-old bride a deathbed promise to marry his brother, Henry; become Queen; and fulfill their dreams and her destiny. "They tell me nothing but lies here and they think they can break my spirit. I believe what I choose and say nothing. I am not as simple as I seem." Widowed and alone in the avaricious world of the Tudor court, Katherine has to sidestep her father-in-law's desire for her and convince him, and an incredulous Europe, that her marriage to Arthur was never consummated, that there is no obstacle to marriage with Henry. For seven years, she endures the treachery of spies, the humiliation of poverty, and intense loneliness and despair while she waits for the inevitable moment when she will step into the role she has prepared for all her life. Then, like her warrior mother, Katherine must take to the battlefield and save England when its old enemies the Scots come over the border and there is no one to stand against them but the new Queen. "It was my dying husband's hope, my mother's wish, and God's will that I should be Queen of England; and for them and for the country, I will be Queen of England until I die." Raised on the battlefield and in the most beautiful Moorish palace in the world, sent to England alone at the age of sixteen to take her place in a court where she couldn't speak the language, and abandoned and forced to endure poverty after the death of her husband, Katherine remained a woman of indomitable spirit, unwavering faith, and extraordinary strength. Philippa Gregory brings to life one of history's most inspiring women and creates one of the most compelling characters in historical fiction.
Earthly Joys (Earthly Joys #1)by Philippa Gregory
Whether he is nurturing a single rare seedling into a blossoming tree or planning acres of exquisitely conceived royal gardens, John Tradescant's fame and skill as a gardener are unsurpassed in seventeenth-century England. But it is Tradescant's clear-sighted honesty and loyalty that make him an invaluable servant, and in his role as informal confidant during garden strolls with Sir Robert Cecil, adviser to King James I, he witnesses the making of history, from the Gunpowder Plot to the accession of King Charles I and the growing animosity between Parliament and court. Tradescant's talents soon come to the attention of the most powerful man in the country, the irresistible Duke of Buckingham, the lover of King Charles I. Tradescant has always been faithful to his masters, but Buckingham is unlike any he has ever known: flamboyant, outrageously charming, and utterly reckless. Every certainty upon which Tradescant has based his life -- his love of his wife and children, his passion for his work, his loyalty to his country -- is shattered as he follows Buckingham to court, to war, and to the forbidden territories of human love. From the details of garden design and innovation to the politics of a growing revolution which was to kill a king and turn a world upside down, Philippa Gregory once again makes history come alive through the people whose passions shaped that world.

First and foremost: hooray! C.C. Sabathia goes to Milwaukee and not Los Angeles, which means that any Dodger parts that might have gone to Cleveland for a starting pitcher the team didn't really need are still around to be used for a bat or shortstop that the team does need. I don't know exactly what it would have taken to have beaten Milwaukee's offer of Matt LaPorta and three other prospects, but I'm sure it's more than we would have been able to stomach. So a golf clap to you, Ned Colletti, for not making the kind of move that would have resulted in effigies being erected around the blogosphere.
With that in mind, let's get on to some of the other rumors floating around. And really, isn't this the best time of the year? While I am a little more worried than usual about what kind of deal is going to go down for this team, there's few things I like more than trade rumors and proposals.
First off, the Jack Wilson rumors are still alive and well, which if the price is right, I'm okay with. (I stand strong on my threat to implode the internet if Matt Kemp is dealt for him, though.) I figured it'd be interesting to see what the Pittsburgh side of things have to say about these proposals for their shortstop flying around, so first we've got John Perrotto from something called the Beaver County Times & Allegheny Times:
Multiple baseball sources said Sunday that the Dodgers and Pirates are in serious talks about a trade that would ship Wilson west. Wilson, who grew up and lives in the Los Angeles area, has the longest-running tenure of any Pirates player at the major-league level as he made his debut in 2001.
The Pirates envision a long-term outfield that would include Kemp and Nate McLouth, who was selected to his first All-Star Game on Sunday, on the corners, flanking center fielder Andrew McCutchen, the Pirates' top prospect, who is playing at Class AAA Indianapolis.
If the Pirates are unable to pry Kemp away, they are also said to be willing to consider a deal in which they would acquire a pair of prospects: right-hander James McDonald and shortstop Chin-Lung Hu.
Remember earlier in this post when I said I wouldn't mind Wilson "if the price is right"? Guess what: including Matt Kemp does not qualify as the price being right. Kemp is a budding star who's already one of this team's best hitters, ranking 4th on the team in VORP – miles ahead of Established Veterans Juan Pierre, Jeff Kent, and Andruw Jones. Wilson is an adequate, if mediocre, shortstop who's probably already reached his peak. Besides, what are you going to do in the outfield if Kemp's gone? Commit to playing Juan Pierre and Andruw Jones every single day no matter what? Uh, no thanks.
The scary thing is, even Pirate fans who don't have the same attachment to Matt Kemp that we do can see this would be a heist of monumental proportions – or so says Pirates blog Bucs Dugout:
Get Kemp! Get Kemp! "Potential superstar" is right. We already recently discussed this rumor here, and I'd just assumed it wouldn't be possible to get Kemp for Wilson. It still might not be–this is still just a rumor–but if it is, wow. Then again, maybe the Dodgers source was suggesting the team would be willing to include Kemp only if the Pirates included other players. I don't know. What I do know is that McDonald and Hu isn't a bad package for Wilson, and
Kemp>>>>>>>>>>McDonald and Hu
Gee, you think? Trading Kemp for Wilson would be a tragicomedy at best, and I probably wouldn't even do McDonald and Hu. Wilson's a downgrade defensively from Hu, and whatever improvement he'd bring with the bat certainly isn't worth losing James McDonald over.
I'm sure we haven't heard the last of the Jack Wilson rumors, but a new name has popped up as well: Casey Blake. In reference to the Dodgers losing the Sabathia bidding, Ken Rosenthal added:
In winning the Sabathia sweepstakes, the Brewers outbid at least six teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, who could have offered a stronger overall package than Milwaukee and expanded the deal to include Indians infielder/outfielder Casey Blake.
I guess I'm not sure how to respond to this idea. Blake's a good player – he can play first, third, and right, and he's a pretty decent hitter with good OBP skills and some pop, although that's steadily declining. Homer tallies of 28-23-19-18 and just 8 so far this year aren't exactly the kind of stock I want to be buying, although his 2008 OBP of .355 is very good. I think it comes down to why the Dodgers would want to acquire him. If the idea is that he'd be a veteran bat who could start a few times a week in a few different spots, then great. But if the idea is that he's the new starting third baseman, while once again not giving Andy LaRoche a fair shake (or including him in the deal), well, then that's a big fat "no thanks".
Onto deals that are probably unlikely to happen but should be included just for the sake of completeness, Tony Jackson writes in the LA Daily News about the Phillies sniffing around Derek Lowe, but also pretty much snuffs out the idea in the same piece:
A Philadelphia scout attended Friday's game between the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants but reportedly got up and left as soon as Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe was lifted after five innings, a clear sign the Phillies are interested in the veteran right-hander.
Lowe is in the final season of a four-year, $36 million contract, and the Dodgers conceivably could move him before the July 31 trading deadline. But the Dodgers' primary need, as stated last week by general manager Ned Colletti, is an everyday shortstop, and the Phillies clearly aren't going to part with reigning NL Most Valuable Player Jimmy Rollins, who is signed through 2010.
Can't argue that. I don't see how the Phillies have anything useful and expendable that the Dodgers could use, unless this is to be part of a three-way deal in which the Blue pick up a shortstop.
And finally, there's absolutely no substance behind this one other than just another blogger's idea, but I saw it and couldn't help but mention it: Dodger Dugout wants to try and acquire Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez, and move Russell Martin to third base. Somehow I doubt the Tigers, who have finally clawed their way back into contention, would want to move their starting catcher while their backup, Brandon Inge, is on the DL, but points for creativity.

Convict in 2 Portland 1993 murders being released - Copy 1
Feb 23, 2013
[News-Register subscribers click here to read local story with reactions from Yamhill County officials.]
PORTLAND — A man convicted of murder in the 1993 slayings of two women in Portland is being released from prison Friday.
Scott William Cox of Newberg was sentenced to 25 years, and with time off for good behavior and credit for time spent in jail, his term is up.
The Oregonian reports the 49-year-old is being moved to the Yamhill County Jail and will live in subsidized housing while he looks for work. The community corrections director, Ted Smietana, says he'll have to check in daily with a probation officer.
If Cox had been convicted in 1995, after Oregon voters approved Measure 11, he would have been sentenced to at least 50 years in prison.
Police in other states, including Mountlake Terrace, Wash., continue to investigate Cox in other killings.

"When in Rome" Lecture Explores the Foreign Academies
For Immediate Release
November 02, 2009
Discover the many ways foreign artists depicted the Eternal City during the next "When in Rome" lecture on Thursday, November 12, at 5:30 pm, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. The lecture series, led by Clark staff, is a complement to the fall exhibition Steps off the Beaten Path: Nineteenth-Century Photographs of Rome and Its Environs. Registration is not required but can be made by calling 413-458-0489. Cost is $8 per class ($5 for members and free of charge for college students).
Rome has remained a center of the European art world for many centuries. Celebrated for its great monuments, works of art, and incomparable scenery, the Eternal City was an essential component of an artist's education, as well as for the worldly "grand tourist." In this lecture, Clark senior curator Richard Rand explores the myriad ways foreign artists responded to Rome by discussing three great paintings from the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries: Portrait of Juan de Pareja (1650, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) by the Spanish painter Diego Velazquez; The Oath of the Horatii (1784/85, Musée du Louvre, Paris) by the French painter Jacques-Louis David; and Rome from the Vatican (1820, Tate, London) by J.M.W. Turner.
Technical innovations, artistic daring, and shifting socio-political circumstances led to a dramatic change in the photography of Rome in the late nineteenth century. Photographers of the Eternal City began to capture everyday scenes alongside ancient ruins, Baroque churches, and backstreets, all of which industrialization was rapidly transforming. Through the 100 images in Steps off the Beaten Path, viewers today can step into a Rome that was about to step out of the pre-industrial age. The exhibition is on view at the Clark through January 3, 2010.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (open daily in July and August). Admission is free November through May. Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

RARE COLLECTOR GEMSTONES With help from friends in the gem trade, we are proud to announce a renewed effort to offer collector and investment gemstones to our customers. Over the last few years, we have been slowly buying out the old inventory of a longtime gem dealer, specializing in unusual rarities and interesting collector stones. Presented here are 125 gemstones selected from this stash, some dating back 20-25 years! A large number of Afghanistani and Pakistani pieces that were added in the 1990s broaden the scope of the suite, presented here.

Over the last few years, we have been slowly buying out the old inventory of a longtime gem dealer, specializing in unusual rarities and interesting collector stones. Presented here are 125 gemstones selected from this stash, some dating back 20-25 years! A large number of Afghanistani and Pakistani pieces that were added in the 1990s broaden the scope of the suite, presented here.
Fluorites come in virtually all colors of the rainbow, and are some of the few gems that occur in multicolor stones. I've seen this type of Fluorite from China, but never from Argentina. The stone comes from a trusted source so I have confidence that it's genuine. The stone shows alternating purple, blue-green and golden-yellow color banding throughout. It's a very attractive gem with a standard "Emerald" cut. A beautiful, larger, multi-color Fluorite for any collector.
Wulfenite is one of the more difficult gems to obtain in the world. Typically most collectors see stones from Arizona or Morocco but when stones from Tsumeb are made available, they are snatched up immediately. This particular stone is nearly eye clean and has a fantastic light orange color with great dispersion! The colors inside this stone make it look like a Titanite or a Cerussite. To find a gem like this over 3 carats is rare these days. Most Tsumeb collectors would flip to own this gem. PLEASE NOTE: This stone does not look as good in the photos, as it does in person. It looks amazing under halogen bulbs, the colors just dance all over the place. This stone came to us with AN OLD dealer price tag of $2082 on it. A great quality stone for any collector.
Sapphire is one of those gems that comes in virtually every color of the rainbow. With that said, the most recognizable color of Sapphires by far is blue, but pink Sapphires are some of the most vivid and recognizable gems in the world. I've seen literally every shade of pink known to man exhibited in Sapphires, and they are still some of the most popular, durable, colorful and highly sought after gems on the planet. This stone has an electric pink color, and hails from what is quickly becoming one of the premier areas in the world for these stones. The stone is virtually eye clean and has a standard "Oval" cut.
This gem is rarely seen in gem quality stones from anywhere in the world let alone in STAR gems like this! Kyanite is an exceptionally rare stone mostly occurring in Brazil as included pale blue to colorless gems. This "Oval Cabochon" cut stone is from Nepal and has a lovely light sapphire blue color, but the most interesting aspect of the gem is the fact that it shows a faint six-ray star when it is illuminated with a strong light. Despite our best efforts, the star is very faint in the photos, and is simply easier to see in person. I have to say that this is the first Star Kyanite gem that I have handled. A great rare collector's stone.
Since this new find of Sodalite hit the market a few years ago, I have been quite impressed with the amount of relatively clean stones out there. Sodalite is a very durable stone and that's why it is so popular among dealers and collectors alike. The gem variety of Sodalite is Hackmanite and it is tenebrescent which is the process by which a mineral changes daylight color after being exposed to SW Light. This stone is very tenebrescent and also shows a good LW/SW Fluorescence. The stone fluoresces orange under LW and light orange under SW. The Hackmanite will turn a PURPLE color after being exposed to prolonged SW light and then will return to a lighter purple color after being exposed to prolonged daylight. This process is 100% repeatable and in no way hurts the stone. This "Oval Cabochon" cut gem has a light purple color, and it's definitely a larger stone for the material. The stone is only very slightly included, which is very difficult to find in this material, and make no mistake, this is a worthwhile collectors gem. This material is retailing for HIGH numbers now across the board, and I recently saw some stones that were priced at $400 per carat !
Diamonds occur in virtually every color of the rainbow (including black) and are prized for the extreme durability and fire. This particular stone has a honey color (with a golden overtone) and is only very very slightly included with a "Round" cut. The color in this gem is natural, which is rare in most colored Diamonds. It would fit nicely into a faceted Diamond suite.
This is a super rare collector's stone. When is the last time that you can remember seeing a faceted stone of Aragonite? With the exception of the Czech specimens, Aragonite is rarely found in facet grade material. This is the old, classic European locale for the species and crystals from this location come up in old collections only infrequently. This was cut from one such old piece. This stone is a wonderful, very very slightly included gem with a "Pear" cut. These gems are very difficult to find these days, and stones this size are NOT common
Garnet comes in virtually every color of the rainbow. A few years ago, Mali was producing some very attractive light green Grossulars (along with yellow, golden and brown gems), but it seems as though this material has disappeared from the market in recent years. This stone looks very similar to the material from Mali, but came labeled to me as being from Kenya from a very reliable source. This gem is virtually eye clean and has a nice green color with a Pear cut. I think that this is a very underappreciated gem, and this color is not seen very often in Grossular so don't miss out.
Amblygonite is a relatively rare stone and is only found from a few localities in top gem material. Stone like this gem are highly sought after by collectors, and deeply appreciated by those who have experience with rare gems. This particular stone has a light straw-yellow color, and a "Step Cushion" cut. With the naked eye, I cannot see any inclusions in this gem, which is quite impressive for a stone this size. Amblygonite is too soft and brittle for jewelry, but these are not very common today in ANY size. This would make a great addition to any rare stone collection.
Moldavite is often referred to as the "gem that fell to earth". This material is believed to have formed when a shower of meteorites fell in what is now the Czech Republich within a one hundred mile area around the Vltava River, which was once called the Moldau, and from which Moldavite gets its name. These stones are actually tektites and Moldavite is a one-of-a-kind tektite. There are many theories where Moldavite originated and the inability of science to resolve the issues with one conclusive explanation of the true origins of Moldavite causes it to remain one of the great mysteries of the gem world. Nonetheless, Moldvaite isn't often faceted into gems (usually it is left in it's original form or used for carvings - plus the very unusual form of the "rough" stones doesn't make for very good yield when it comes to cutting stones), and this is a very good size stone for this material. The stone has a "Square Checkerboard Cushion" cut, and would make for a beautiful piece of jewelry. The color in the stone is about as bright and rich as I have seen in Moldavite. There are some slight bubble inclusions, which is a good indicator that it is authentic, and not a synthetic simulant. It's a unique stone, and most collectors don't have one in their collections.
Diopside is only found in a few localities in the world in gem quality material. Some of the best known are from Matala in Sri Lanka, the Italian Alps, and De Kalb, New York. I haven't seen many crystals of Diopside from Austria lately that were clean enough or thick enough to cut nice stones, but this one certainly qualifies as a great Diopside gem from this area. The stone has a nice bright green color. The gem has an "Emerald cut with slight inclusions.
Labradorite is a fairly common Feldspar, but is still very attractive when faceted. Labradorite is found from various localities, but I always marvel as transparent Feldspar from any locality, especially in stones this size. This particular stone is an attractive, light straw color gem with an "Oval" cut. The stone is nearly eye cleanm and often Labradorite can have some kind of "shiller" which is an effect often seen in these gems, so the clarity in this gem is superb. A great, large, old time Mexican Labradorite stone, which would fit nicely into a gem Feldspar suite.
This material is rarely seen in faceted stones, and even more rarely in 7 CARAT gems that are gem quality ! Bowenite is actually a variety of Antigorite which was first found in Italy. The name Serpentine is applied to a group of minerals and is not a valid species. This stone came to me labeled as being a chromium bearing gem, and it comes from a trusted source. The material is extremely rare in any quantity, but to find a stone with such great gemminess is really impressive. The stone is slightly translucent and has a rich emerald-green color in strong lighting. The gem has a "Rectangle" cut, and one of the corners has a bit of a white hazy appearance.
Magnesite is a relatively rare carbonate in the world except for the Brumado mine in Brazil. This material was originally mined and used as flux for making steel. The entire mountain in which the mine is located is just loaded with tons upon tons of large, gem grade crystals of Magnesite. Cut stones of this material are actually very attractive due to the birefringence which is starkly obvious in smaller stones. There truly is only one mine in the world that produces gems of this material, and most collectors probably don't have one in their collections. This stone is a very very slightly included with an Oval cut, and is a very good size gem of this material. This is a rare gem that is not often seen for sale in today's market.
Enstatite is a fairly rare collectors stone, and is not often seen in clean gems over 2 carats, so this is a good sized stone to be sure. This particular stone is a very attractive Enstatite with a lovely and rarely seen golden-peach color, which is exceedingly more rare than the typical brown gems. The stone is very very slightly included with a "Modified Shield" cut. A superb quality rare gem for any collector.

|Are fixed-price menus a rip off?
The special surely serve a purpose for the restaurants - it's one of the busiest days of the year for them, and limiting choices allows a smooth flow in the kitchen. It also allows the eateries to turn over tables more quickly (if you're only preparing six dishes, you can get the food out of the kitchen much faster) and also lets the restaurant make some extra cash by choosing dishes that have good markups.
On the customer side, it also can add to the experience - many of the special menus are four to six courses, so they let you try more dishes than you normally would, and you certainly don't have to worry about leaving the restaurant hungry.
Even so, many surveyors felt that these menus are for chumps. Why would they pay extra to go to a restaurant, when they can't even try the normal dishes that they may want? Also - many restaurants slyly introduce a "tasting-menu-only" policy for V-day, meaning that you can't get a la carte dishes (and in turn, save money), even if you wanted to. Here are some of the comments from the surveyors, weigh in on these special menus in the comments.
"The restaurant we went to had replaced its regular menu with a "special" menu that had NOTHING either of us wanted to eat, so we left without ordering. That's why we do no attempt to dine out on Valentine's Day."
"A general complaint about Valentine's Day (or any other holiday) is getting shoehorned into pricy prix fixe menus. No thanks."
"This isn't a specific day, but a general complaint is getting shoehorned into pricey prix fixe menus. No thanks."
"The last one I went to a restaurant for was disappointing because the menu was pre-selected prix fixe and that is not what I wanted. That is why we no longer go out on Valentine's Day. Not only is it a rip-off but you often don't even get the meal you want."
"The places I wanted to go to refused to take reservations, which is ridiculous. Some of the places that had reservations refused to offer regular menu items and charged ridiculous prices for a shi**y V-Day special menu. I ended up cooking a nice meal at home."

Yes, we're talking about that JoJo, the mid-Aughts tween-pop starlet (or, R&Tween starlet, if you want to get technical) best known for "Too Little Too Late." And although we spent the mid-Aughts listening to pretty much anything but R&Tween songs — college-drone was more our thing — that's really neither here nor there, because JoJo circa 2013 is entirely different. Her newest mixtape Agape shows she's the rare example of a teen star who's transitioning into a well-adjusted and artistically minded adult. JoJo's electronic-dusted pop is sexy and sultry without descending into the garish oversexed persona many of her post-teen peers are pimping these days. She's a classy lady, not a car crash, which may explain why we aren't hearing more about her in the press — TMZ has trouble understanding that level of maturity.

Would bluejays do synderguar, rasmus and JPA?
Presenting the 2013 New York Mets Outfield.
too much sarcasm going on around here... this thread has just become annoying to actually have a conversation about this. lol
First of all, I'm not a fan of Dickey at all, and him coming to the AL East makes it worse. I hate knuckleballers, I don't care if he's the CY Young winner. His peripherals also were not extremely elite, TORP stuff until just this year, so do not tell me that he's been TORP ever since he transitioned into knuckle balling. High 3 almost 4 peripherals don't indicate a TORP, and after losing Nicolino, I don't think AA will move Syndegaard or Sanchez. Atleast, I hope he doesn't.
|Sponsored Links
But to be honest, in the event that the Jays do actually acquire R.A Dickey. I expect something like this to occur:
Daniel Norris
JP Arencibia
Anthony Gose
Drew Hutchison
RA Dickey
Do I want this to happen? No. Again, I really don't want Dickey, but I think something like this may happen.

Lawyers are essential in a civilized, democratic and just society. For good reason: it's the lawyers unique duty to protect people from abuses by government and it's agents, and to help remedy the wrongs of others, whether they be strangers or spouses, employers, or multi-national corporations.
It's not easy to become a lawyer. There's a demanding course of law-school study after college, and a difficult bar examination to test the candidate's knowlege of laws and court procedures. There's also an investigation of the lawyer-to-be's moral character and fitness to practice law before the oath of office can be administered. [Admission Faqs.]
How Do I Find A Lawyer?
In selecting a lawyer, the consumer should take the same careful steps that one takes in choosing a physician or a dentist, or a home contractor. If you do not know a lawyer, ask friends, neighbors, or others whose opinion you respect for a recommendation. You may also contact the Lawyer Referral and Information Service sponsored by the State Bar of Montana at (406) 449-6577 or on our website under the 'Legal Help' button. This service is a free, non-profit service offered by the State Bar of Montana. It's an outstanding resource when you feel you need an attorney but you're not sure whom to turn to. Each year, LRIS staff handles thousands of calls from the public, assisting with various legal situations and providing information, resources and referrals.
The Yellow Pages of telephone directories and other advertising journals can be helpful, but consumers should be careful. A paid advertisement is just that; it's not an official endorsement or guarantee.
In The Beginning
Helpful guidelines to consider when hiring a lawyer:
Establish the Ground Rules
A few rules of thumb to follow with your attorney:
How Do I File A Complaint Against My Attorney?
The State Bar of Montana is not the authority that regulates and disciplines attorneys licensed in Montana. Complaints should be made to the Montana Supreme Court's Office of Disciplinary Counsel, whose purpose is to investigate and prosecute complaints of professional misconduct against lawyers. Their office can be reached at (406) 442-1648 or toll-free, in-state 877-442-1648.

I have been working at RetailMeNot full-time for more than a year
Pros – It is hard to pick where to begin with a company like Whaleshark.
Whaleshark has a wide-open information policy, a relatable and interested executive team, great perks, better rewards, and highly intelligent/motivated employees (most of which have made several close friends within the company).
From a more social perspective, the office itself is bright and fun, the people are focused on their work but never above a good laugh, company parties and activities are always a blast, and the frequently catered breakfast/lunches and fully stocked kitchen is pretty cool.
I would reccommend Whaleshark to anyone I know.
Cons – With so many fun people nearby, a plethora of movie and video game toys/posters on desks and walls, and so much good food in the kitchen, sometimes it can be hard to stay at your desk and work all day.
But hey, that's a pretty good problem to have, right? Luckily I believe in the work I do for Whaleshark and working hard to show that is something I take pride in.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing. The recent focus on goal setting, increased department transparency, etc. etc. are really going to help continue to strengthen this company.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

The Museum has very close links with the faculties, and the colleges, and museum staff undertake a great deal of University teaching and research. The Museum's Collections are also an important teaching and research resource for scholars and students from other institutions both in this country and abroad.
Undergraduate degree courses at Oxford University involving museum staff and collections include bachelors degrees in Archaeology and Anthropology; Ancient and Modern History; Classical and Ancient History; Egyptology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies; Classics; History of Art; Fine Art; Arabic, Persian and Turkish; Islamic Art and Archaeology. In many casesdissertation topics for these degrees are based on Museum collections.
Postgraduate courses using the Museum collections and staff include Masters degrees in European Archaeology; World Archaeology; Landscape Archaeology; Professional Archaeology; Greek and/or Roman History; Classical Archaeology; Byzantine Studies; Cuneiform Studies; Egyptology; History of Art; Islamic Art and Archaeology; Modern Chinese Art and Literature. Masters students often continue their studies in these areas basing doctoral theses on the museum collections, supervised by museum staff.
In addition the Ashmolean hopes soon to offer elective courses to medical students (Ancient Medicine, Ways of Seeing and Observing), as well as providing a cultural resource independently of set courses. All undergraduates of Oxford and Oxford Brookes Universities receive an invitation to a special evening event in the museum in their first year.
